Fortieth Annual Meeting Research Articles

Proceedings from the 2018 Association for Chemoreception Annual Meeting Symposium: Bariatric Surgery and Its Effects on Taste and Food Selection.

This article provides a summary of the topics discussed at the symposium titled "Bariatric Surgery and Its Effects on Taste and Food Selection," which was held at the Fortieth Annual Meeting of the Association for Chemoreception Sciences. Bariatric surgery such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is currently one of the most effective treatments available for weight loss and Type 2 diabetes. For this reason, it is of great interest to clinicians as well as to basic scientists studying the controls of feeding and energy balance. Despite the commonly held view by clinicians that RYGB patients change their food preferences away from fats and sugars in favor of less energy dense alternatives such as vegetables, the empirical support for this claim is equivocal. It is currently thought that the taste and palatability of fats and sugars are affected by the surgery. Some key preclinical and clinical findings addressing these issues were evaluated in this symposium.

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons: Fortieth Annual Meeting

Mark your calendars for the Fortieth Annual Meeting of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, which will be held in San Antonio, Texas, January 26–28, 2004. The program will provide in-depth coverage of thoracic surgical topics selected to enhance and broaden the knowledge of practicing thoracic and cardiac surgeons. Traditional abstract presentations as well as topic-specific ancillary sessions and courses will make up the continuing medical education opportunities that will be offered at the Fortieth Annual Meeting.

Expression of breast cancer resistance protein in blast cells from patients with acute leukemia: Presented in part at the Fortieth Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology, Miami Beach, FL, December 4-8, 1998.

AbstractBreast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is a novel member of the adenosine triphosphate–binding cassette superfamily of transport proteins. Transfection and enforced expression of BCRP in drug-sensitive cells confer resistance to mitoxantrone, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, and topotecan. We studied blast cells from 21 acute leukemia patients (20 acute myeloid leukemia, 1 acute lymphocytic leukemia) for the expression of BCRP mRNA using a quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction assay. BCRP mRNA expression varied more than 1000-fold among the samples tested, with low or barely detectable expression in half of the samples. Seven samples (33%) had relatively high expression of BCRP mRNA. High expression of BCRP did not correlate strongly with high expression of P-glycoprotein, suggesting that BCRP may cause resistance to certain antileukemic drugs in P-glycoprotein–negative cases. High expression of BCRP mRNA is sufficiently frequent in AML to warrant more extensive investigations to determine the relation of disease subtype and treatment outcome to BCRP expression and function.
